The Board Chair of the Center for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana), Professor Audrey Gadzekpo, has characterized the Anti-Gay Bill as detrimental to societal well-being.

Ghana’s parliament endorsed the stringent legislation on Wednesday, February 28, prescribing a maximum of five years imprisonment for the formation or financing of LGBTQ+ groups.

The bill garnered support from both major political parties and awaits the approval of President Nana Akufo-Addo to become law.

According to the bill, individuals engaged in the prohibited activities could face a jail term ranging from 6 months to 3 years, while sponsors and promoters may be subjected to imprisonment for 3 to 5 years.

In an interview with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Citi FM’s Eyewitness News, Prof Gadzekpo emphasized the paramount importance of upholding rights and freedoms in a constitutional democracy.

On whether she felt the bill was unwholesome, she noted “Absolutely and without any question in my mind,” she stated adding that “I don’t even think they had a quorum. It was an empty chamber that I was seeing from my TV.”
